How do you feel about google's Material Design? Still going strong or not?

I am making my first app right now and designing the icons. I want to make the icons inside the app integrate well with the rest of android, but am hesitant to make them too material-y for fear that they will become dated in a year or two. So, how strong is the Material Design trend in 2016? Are there any other sources of inspiration I could use that are more relevant today?

Great design resource
